Does your employer let you CCW?

[manwithoutahome]

Carlos,

You should have asked first about if the sheriff called your place of employment, they don't. But, I had my two bosses sign the "charactor references" for me so I figure they would know that I was applying for the CCW .

In a way, we have a don't ask, don't tell policy with the Administrator and the Instructors (students don't have this option).

Whether they can or not, I'm just an employee-at-will, so they could fire me even if I could dodge whatever charges would come up.

It's pretty ridiculous, but against there's no actual legal precedent, just Salazar's "interpretation." I hope he gets reamed by Pete Coors in the senate race.

I believe the way the law is written, they can't actually do a legal thing about it. Of course, if the socialists up here found out you carry, you'd be out of a job even if you're the best they've ever seen.

Out of curiosity, what department do you work in?

I work for a gun shop and law enforcement distributor. CCW and/or open carry is not only encouraged, but practically a job requirement.

Plus, as I said, I've never worked anywhere with a metal detector at the front door.

No metal detectors. However, if I were caught, I'd be a felon and fired.
If I had some other marketable skills that would earn me this kind of money, I'd seriously consider it.
Of course, I also love my job.

I work at a fairly large law firm. Minnesota just passed its CCW law about a year ago, which requires the posting of signs as part of the requirements to ban CCW on premises. Within a week of the new law, and still today, we had and continue to have more dang signs than you can shake a stick at. It's ridiculous. I can walk around downtown Minneapolis all day (including many other law firms) and never see more than one or two signs, but as soon as I go back to our offices, it's "sign city." We also amended our company handbook to prohibit possession of a firearm (even in your personal car) on any kind of company business, subject to possible termination for any violation. So, if you drove out to the western part of the state to meet a client on Friday, and put a shotgun in your trunk to do some pheasant hunting on Saturday, you could be fired, and probably fired twice if the shotgun was still in your trunk when you showed up for work on Monday.

I have, of course, carefully followed all of these requirements. No, really, I have. Really. That's my story, and you know the rest.

I work in a privately owned retail pharmacy, the owners are NOT
firearms folk, "BUT" realize the need. So I and about three others
are alllowed to carry, I'm the only one of the group ( retired PD)
who has constant access to mine which I carry on a daily basis.
I normally carry in a ankle holster, and use either a Glock 27 or
AMT Back-up .40 cal. , the others have 9mm's (2) are Springfield
XD-9 Compacts. As a group we go out shooting occassionally
to keep in practice and get together away from the shop, PLUS
they like playing with my toys, AR-15 and 9 MM Carbine and a
coupl'a .22's.
